For more than 10 years we have provided companies of all sizes and in a variety of sectors with uncomplicated, innovative and affordable human resources advice and on-site support ensuring that your people are an asset to your company and not a liability.

Outstanding HR Support

It is often said by companies that their staff are their greatest asset but this is only the case when they are properly managed and motivated. However when faced with ever-changing employment laws and the requirements these place on employers, your staff can very quickly become your biggest liability.

We know from experience that effective people management not only pays for itself but will save money too, through increased productivity and efficiency, lower absence levels, lower staff turnover levels and hence lower recruitment and training costs.

Unlike most human resources consultants, we won't insist on lengthy or complicated contracts or agreements.

We are confident that having worked with us that you will want to continue to do so.

Whether you're implementing a human resources strategy for the first time or have a specific people issue that needs resolving right now, our partnership approach will be just what you need.

From recruitment to training, sensitive staff health issues to redundancies, PulseHR have managed all these situations with the utmost of professionalism and the objective of ‘doing things right’. 
